Islamists Take the War Against the West to the Temple Mount

The flag of the Islamic State, IS/ISIS/ISIL has now been flown on the steps leading up to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

See this shocking news clip that appeared on an Arabic-language Facebook page at http://youtu.be/_K7cDPP2xic. (While difficult to see, the IS flag appears to the left on the Temple Mount steps.)

The images on the video show hundreds of Hamas followers rallying on the Temple Mount, shouting to “spill the blood” of the “infidels” and to hit Tel Aviv. Translated by Dr. Mordechai Kedar, an Israeli scholar of Arabic literature and a lecturer at Bar-Ilan University, the disturbing video also shows masked Hamas supporters chanting slogans of hate and violence, such as, “Bless the cigarettes (code for rockets)” and “Smash Zionist heads.” [See: http://unitedwithisrael.org/isis-flag-flies-on-temple-mount-amid-calls-for-jihad/]

Consider too that Israeli Jews are forbidden to bring an Israeli flag on to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, the capital city, in the heart of the sovereign state of Israel – yet IS can bring a banner with impunity – a banner that reads: There is no deity [God] but Allah. Mohammed is his messenger.

Strategic Solutions asks that you contact President Obama at the White House comment line at 202.456.1111. Stress that the President needs to wholly support Israel in ending Palestinian terrorism lead by HAMAS and FATAH against the Jewish people.
